The Phillies signed Gillispie to a minor-league contract Wednesday, Steve Potter of PhilliesBaseballFan.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gillispie made six starts for the Marlins last season, getting torched for 26 runs (25 earned) over 26 innings, and he was arguably worse at the Triple-A level with a 7.23 ERA and 28:25 K:BB in 47.1 frames. The righty will give the Phillies some experienced rotation depth at Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

The Twins designated Gillispie for assignment Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Michael Tonkin, who was called up from Triple-A St. Paul. Gillispie was a waiver claim of the Twins in late June but has been hammered for 22 runs over 13.2 innings during his time with St. Paul.

The Twins claimed Gillispie off waivers from the Marlins on Monday and optioned him to Triple-A St. Paul, Bobby Nightengale of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has made six starts for the Marlins this season, posting an 8.65 ERA and 23:11 K:BB over 26 frames. Gillispie has experience as a starter and reliever, though it's not clear what role the Twins have planned for him. In any case, he'll provide some experienced pitching depth at St. Paul.

The Marlins designated Gillispie for assignment Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillispie lost his place in Miami's rotation in late April after posting an 8.65 ERA through six starts, and he'll now also lose his spot on the 40-man roster with Robinson Pina joining the Marlins' bullpen Thursday. The 27-year-old has turned in a 4.28 ERA in 33.2 innings since moving to the minor leagues, though his MLB resume may prevent other teams from taking a chance on him.

The Marlins optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillispie was recalled by the Marlins on Saturday but did not make an appearance for the big club. He'll return to Triple-A, where he has a 2-0 record across six games (five starts) with a 4.38 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB in 24.2 innings. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Eury Perez (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.

The Marlins recalled Gillispie from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillispie struggled with Miami earlier this season, posting an 8.65 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 23:11 K:BB over 26 innings while going 0-3 across six starts. He was sent to the minors in late April and has posted a 4.38 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB over 24.2 frames across six outings (five starts) with Jacksonville. Currently, the Marlins' starter for Sunday's matchup versus the Rays is listed as TBD, so Gillispie could take that turn in the rotation.

The Marlins optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Gillespie gave up seven runs in just two innings during Saturday's loss to the Mariners. He's posted a 14.25 ERA and 2.25 WHIP in 12 innings over his last three starts, and he will move to Triple-A to work on his control. Miami recalled Luarbert Arias from Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Gillispie (0-3) was charged with the loss Saturday in Seattle after surrendering seven runs on six hits and three walks over two innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The Mariners batted around in a six-run opening frame, as Gillispie gave up four extra-base hits, including back-to-back homers to open the contest. It's the first time through six starts this year that the right-hander failed to last at least four frames, but it was also the third straight outing in which he allowed more than three runs. Gillispie's spot in Miami's rotation is hardly secure with an 8.65 ERA and 1.65 WHIP, but for now he tentatively lines up to pitch next weekend versus the A's.

Gillispie did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 7-5 extra-inning win over the Phillies, allowing four runs on seven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over five innings.

EDGE Analysis

Gillispie surrendered three runs in the first inning but managed to settle in despite generating just six whiffs on 91 pitches. While the results haven't been ideal, the 27-year-old has completed at least five innings in four of his five starts this season. He'll take a 6.75 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 21:8 K:BB across 24 innings into a road matchup with the Mariners next weekend.

Gillispie (0-2) allowed eight runs on eight hits and two walks over five-plus innings Tuesday, striking out six and taking a loss against Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Gillispie coughed up four runs in the second inning, one in the third, and was charged with three more in the sixth despite not recording an out in the frame. He entered Tuesday's outing with a 3.86 ERA over 14 frames, but it shot up to 6.63 after the ugly performance. Gillispie has not recorded more than 15 outs in any of his four starts this season. Still looking for his first career win, he's in line to start in Philadelphia this weekend.
